#9401: conversation window should support ctrl+c as copying text
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
Reporter: yaoziyuan | Type: enhancement
Status: new | Component: pidgin (gtk)
Version: 2.5.6 | Keywords: copy conversation text ctrl+v
----------------------+-----------------------------------------------------
we can already copy/paste text in the input box (where we type messages to
send), but we can't copy text from the conversation window (the read-only
text box that shows the conversation) with ctrl+c. i find this very
desirable and, before it is supported, can cause misunderstandings between
friends:
imagine a user presses ctrl+c in the conversation window and believes it
has copied the selected text and then goes to the input box for another
buddy and presses ctrl+v and Enter (without checking if the text pasted is
really what was just "copied"), he would actually have pasted something he
copied to the clipboard earlier, which can be a password or other
sensitive information.
